Description:

The M998
is the baseline vehicle for the M998 series of 1 1/4-ton trucks, which
are known as the HMMWV vehicles. The HMMWV vehicles include 11
variants. They are: M998 Cargo/Troop Carrier; M1038 Cargo/Troop
Carrier, with winch; M1043 Armament Carrier; M1044 Armament Carrier,
with winch; M1045 TOW Carrier; M1046 TOW Carrier, with winch; M997
Ambulance, basic armor 4-Litter; M1035 Ambulance, 2-Litter; M1037
Shelter Carrier; M1042 Shelter Carrier, with winch; M1097 Heavy HMMWV
(payload of 4,400 pounds). All HMMWVS are designed for use over all
types of roads, in all weather conditions and are extremely effective
in the most difficult terrain. The HMMWV's high power-to-weight ratio,
four wheeled drive and high ground clearance combine to give it
outstanding cross-country mobility.

The HMMWV (High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled
Vehicle) is a light,
highly mobile, diesel-powered, four-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with
an automatic transmission. Based on the M998 chassis, using common
components and kits, the HMMWV can be configured to become a troop
carrier, armament carrier, S250 shelter carrier, ambulance, TOW missile
carrier, and a Scout vehicle.
